Classic Elegance, Timeless Sex Appeal NADA Values: Average retail $8,150, high retail $10,200. 1986 Jaguar Series III Vanden Plas, please note that the Vanden Plas has a substantially upgraded interior and wood from the standard Series III 90,390 original miles, this car has just been driven enough to keep it in great shape. Very Low Miles considering age, 3,000 a year, average is 12,000 a year. Car runs and drives extremely well. Everything works beautifully. Clear Title on hand. Brakes, steering and suspension in tip top condition, new steering rack and wheel alignment, rear differential serviced. All mechanical, electrical and climate control systems are A+, full tune up including spark plug wires, distributor and rotor, new a/c drier and expansion valve, new a/c amplifier (these are difficult to source and are $295 but make the a/c work as new), new alternator/voltage regulator, new exhaust manifold gaskets, new motor and transmission mounts, refurbished fuel injectors, MAF cleaned, lube job, oil, gas, and air filters. New battery and new fluids throughout (including Mercedes Benz radiator fluid). I'm a retired engineer and cars are my hobby, I purchased this one 2.5 years ago for $6K as it was an excellent example of the Series III and spent over $5,500 on the car, I want my cars to be as perfect mechanically as they can be. The wood alone was $,1500 and done by Madera concepts of California. Ice cold air conditioning. Car never overheats, even in Las Vegas summers and is very dependable, starts every time. Lovely road manners with a very solid and tight drivetrain, very smooth car, you can set the cruise control at 80 and cruise all day long. Both gas tanks and gauges work properly. Just drove the car from Las Vegas to California last week and back, everything worked beautifully, it is a really smooth drive, especially considering its age. Cosmetically the car is stunning ! Lustrous ORIGINAL Maraschino Black paint finish (with minimal imperfections only noticeable up close), if you intend to show the car the paint should be refreshed, paint lacquer checking typical of Jaguar original paint, majority is on hood and roof, 2 oil drips on drivers front fender, please refer to pictures. And YES, this car would win at shows with a new paint job, it’s that good. No accidents, straight body. Near Perfect chrome and trim, even the exhaust tips which are usually tarnished and brown are bright, door rubber is supple and not dried out. All lights are clear and shiny, which only occurs on cars that have been garaged all their lives. Glass all clear, one tiny flea bite on passenger side front windshield which is not noticeable. Always a Western U.S. car, 100% rust free body, chassis and frame. The cream/ivory interior is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful original leather seats (near flawless), clean carpeting and perfect dash. Sheepskin floor mats and trunk can be washed and underneath are original floor mats in perfect condition. Wood all refinished by Madera Concepts of California and is very stunning. Even the center plastic tabs on the center vents are intact, these are always broken. No leaks when taking car through carwash. The headliner is still usable but should be redone, it had sagged in the rear and been pulled tight and pinned at the rear, no sag noticeable now, quoted $350 to have it completely redone here in Las Vegas, it’s not noticeable, I did not have it redone but reflected the cost of replacement in the asking price. Original owners manuals, books, window sticker, and full set of shop manuals. Beautiful wire wheels, no rust or flaking on spinners. Very good tires all around, front calipers and rear hub done in Ferrari yellow, which complements the interior and gives the wire wheels an eye catching glow. If you are looking for an exceptional Series III with low miles, a stunning color combination, and in very good mechanical condition this is the one. Car is also listed locally and we have a neighbor interested in it so we reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time. We hate to see it go but need to make room for a 1951 Jaguar that is being restored. The vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed, written or implied.
